Reviews for Penn Yan Diner in Penn Yan, NY
Penn Yan Diner is a must stop. They have a rich history and excellent breakfast. It was great sitting at the old fashion... breakfast bar and having biscuits and gravy with eggs over top. The cooks were great to talk to and it's a place where youalways feel welcome. Read more
Pretty good ?home cooked? food server here. Quite funny? sign outside says ?4th best chili in PY!? Mid century look with... Formica counters; yellow and turquoise. Great bar seats up front, although this is a family diner. Also, first time for us - payusing a unique QR code - no cashier needed Read more
It?s rare to find a classic / oldschool diner with any plant-based options. Penn Yan diner had several vegan options, and I... enjoyed a vegan Belgian waffle with a side of Beyond Sausage. It was phenomenal. The staff were very friendly and helpful, andour food came out so quickly. Very affordable too! Well worth the stop. Read more
They had gluten free bread they used to substitute eggs Benedict. The hollandaise was yum & the eggs cooked perfectly. Also a... good serving of hollandaise! The gluten free bread was pretty good. Their gluten free Belgian waffle with ice cream, ugh sogood!!! A must try especially if you're Gluten intolerant. Gluten free pancakes also were really good. Sausage links were notbest but not worst, bacon not best either. And home fries weren't really how most home fries are, needed more cooking. Coffeewas good! Such a cute place BTW. Staff were nice but they were understaffed both times so service a bit slower than otherplaces. So if you're in a hurry, not sure how well it would go. Also they were very aware of gluten allergies. Highlyrecommend!! It was packed both times FYI. Read more

House made hash, homemade breads from the local blue heron bakery, French toast stuffed with Bavarian cream~yum!Friendly staff, super clean, reasonable & you will clean your plate. Read more
We stumbled across this wonderful diner while driving through Penn Yan to visit a Mennonite farm store. We were pleasantly... surprised to find that this diner offers plentiful gluten-free options. My wife got the gluten-free pancakes and also a side ofbacon. She loved both. I got the eggs benedict and black coffee and everything was great. There was a good many locals that madefor interesting small-town people watching. The staff at the restaurant were very kind and very welcoming. The food also cameout astoundingly quickly. I am 6?2? tall and I will say that the door and the ceiling were rather low which made the place evenmore charming, although I did have to duck in order to walk into the establishment. The bathrooms were well-kept but tiny forsuch a tall man as myself. Not a bad thing just simply something to note. Highly recommend! You definitely need to visit thisplace for breakfast or lunch if you?re driving through Penn Yan. Read more
Food was great and everyone working there was wonderful! We over ordered because we couldn't decide. She had "the Sean" which... was 2 eggs, bacon, French toast and potatoes. Also ordered 1/2 order biscuits and gravy - sooooo good! He ordered the eggsBenedict with side order of 1 sweet cream pancake. Everything was delicious! We'll come back again. Read more
A wonderful bit of old fashioned Americana right smack in the middle of the computer age! It was Sunday morning, we went in,... they took my cell number and texted me when we could be served. We waited about 20 minutes. We sat at the end of the counterwhere all the cooking action takes place. You use your phone camera to snap the QR code and your menu appears on your phone!Pancakes, buckwheats, waffles, French toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, corned beef hash, hot coffee and decaf too! Lunch items,French onion soup. You want it, they got it in a 1925 dining car. It's a meal and a show all at once. Great buckwheat pancakes.If I lived in Penn Yan, I'd eat there every weekend! Great food and lots of nostalgia and just plain FUN! Read more
